I always thougth sex was what people had on the side and gender was the basis on which they chose the person with whom to have sex. According to the QE crowd, sex is the basis on which people choose the person with whom to have sex.

It's like shooting ducks in a pond, isn't it!

Not so much Queen's English as English Queens Jun 28, 2010

I reckon what good ole Freddy meant by the band's name was his personal persuasion, not regality. And before all the humphing and puffing and blowing starts, I'm a big Queen fan, like nearly everyone. Come to think of it, that second sentence is dodgier than the first if anything.
